Israeli military deports Palestinian student from West Bank to Gaza...

Israel's Supreme Court is due to hear the case of a 21-year-old Palestinian woman whom the Israeli military deported to Gaza from the West Bank.

Bethlehem University student Berlanty Azzam was deported two weeks ago.

The Israeli army said she had been given a permit in 2005 allowing her to spend only a few days in Jerusalem.

But an Israeli human rights group says that when Ms Azzam left Gaza there was no such thing as a special permit for Palestinians to enter the West Bank.

The organisation, Gisha, believes tens of thousands of other Palestinians in the West Bank are also under threat of deportation. More...
